Must SeeIt's
Aggie Nation's last chance to see the A&T baseball team play at home this
season, as they host the Savannah State Tigers in a three-game series on
Saturday and Sunday. The Aggies will be
looking to close out the season strong at home and to extend their win streak
against the Tigers. The Aggies swept the
Tigers in a doubleheader in their last meeting on April 1. If the Aggies can sweep this series, they
will move ahead of the Tigers in the MEAC Southern Division. The Aggies are currently in fourth place with
a 7-11 record in conference play. The
Aggies need to play well against Savannah State and also fare well against
Florida A&M the following weekend to secure a berth in the MEAC tournament.

Aggies versus Tigers The Aggies are 20-5 against Savannah State
since 2004, and won 13 straight games from 2006-10. The Aggies went 2-3 against SSU last
season. The Aggies are 2-1 against SSU
this season. The Aggies look to build
upon their success in this series.
